I need some flannel trousers in my life, but the tapered ones look so incredibly slim, and I haven't seen any pics of the regular ones.... I just need some everyday pants that won't look too weird on a 20 year old, advice? Size up tapered, or buy regular and tailor them?

^tapered ones were too slim for me (especially around my calves), so i sent them back and got the regular. I got tts (31, i'm a 31 or 32 in most things), and I think they'll need a taper when I get them hemmed.
